A Building Wants to Be My Facebook Friend

From the inbox:

Solair added you as a friend on Facebook. We need to confirm that you know Solair in order for you to be friends on Facebook.

Actually, I don’t know Solair. In fact, there are very few buildings in Los Angeles that I consider friends. Do I accept the request, or ignore? This is a decision not to be taken lightly, as I do not want to hurt Solair’s feelings.

Not to be a total rat, but non-humans or anyone not using a birth name can’t create a regular friend account on Facebook – violates TOS. Which, sadly, results occasionally in non-profits setting up FB accounts being deleted. On the bright side, it reduces spam accounts.

People can create attach business pages, fan pages, etc., to their accounts, however.

This is actually in violation of facebook policies regarding user profiles. They should have created a Page which can represent non-people and you would become a ‘fan’ of the page, rather than a ‘friend’ of a user profile.
